The musical highlight?

"The Division Bell" was the second studio album by the "post-Waters-phase", and was in the occupation of David Gilmour (guitar, keyboards, vocals, bass), Nick Mason (drums and percussion), Richard Wright (keyboards and vocals ), Jon Carin (keyboards), Guy Pratt (bass), Garry Wallis (percussion), Tom Renwick (guitar), Dick Parry (tenor saxophone), Bob Ezrin (keyboards and percussion), Sam Brown (backing vocals) and Michael Kamen (Orchestra Arrangements) recorded.

Unlike many reviewers here, I am still of the opinion that Pink Floyd have remained faithful in their basic manifestos, the time step just ahead, and so does the group. In terms of professionalism and sound but had - fortunately - nothing changed; on the contrary. Everything sounds as opposed to the first, more unfavorable studio albums - seen technically sound - much more transparent, almost audiophile, although this is still far from Wohklang. The drums sound partially to drum machines, yes, but that is part of the Sound and does not detract from the great songs.

The eleven-song LP begins with the very dreamy, perhaps the most beautiful Pink Floyd song ever. The profound sentiment is underlined by the fact that you are dealing with a particular piece of cream of PF-Instrumental-counter. Piano and - subsequently - drum hi-hats alternating with a radio play-like noise. At the beginning of threatening, but then calm, serene and beautiful. Transferred is then in "What do you want from me", a great song with clean guitars and a strong Gilmour on vocals. It continues with "Poles Apart" that the peaceful mood further promotes and emphasizes the character of the album. Great song, in which the mood is good to see how well the following "Marooned". This song would fit somehow better for "Dark Side of the Moon", yet everything was here exploited and brought out what you could only pick out. It follows "A Great Day for Freedom" with a relaxed guitar Lead (reef), and emphasizes meaningful rhythmics before followed "Wearing the Inside Out", another good prog song. After the first six high-profile smashers a little breather, because me this track has always impressed in his professional sound, but somehow everything seems to "ironed out". Nevertheless, a good to very good song of the work. "Take it Back" closes - almost achtminütig -, but it remains - as with the following "Keep Talking" - a bitter taste, although this song is basically not bad, it abr missing something. "Coming Back to Life" then (not chronologically) and also the long, albeit for Pink Floyd Show Average ratios rather long "High Hopes". Much to write about this song would be like to carry coals to Newcastle. The acoustic near here but there, and there are really good prog rock on the ears before the album ends after almost sixty-six minutes, and the gentle listener "actually" can only conclude that Pink Floyd from their original creativity and Power have lost nothing, and that the songwriting was still working really well. A second "The Dark Side of the Moon" had not created here, but who had expected at least you had already delivered several works off the einfätligen mainstream and radio use, and with "The Division Bell" Another really strong Prog presented album.

Thus, then, despite three smaller, non-relevant, yet average, not bad, songs definitely 5 star. The neuaufgelegte version of this classic now comes in a thin, yet stable Digi-Pack therefore, and in this music because you can not go wrong in any case, even if the eleven tracks were only Durschnittsware, but what they are not certainly. Definitely one of the albums of Pink Floyd and unfortunately the last to date the group led by David Gilmour. Here he and his men from the British Isles had created a new classic. The sound is also very good but remastered, although he was already firmly held on the first version.

Conclusion: The musical highlight? Furthermore one can only speculate. In any case, the present record is here a clear 5 Sterner. 5 Stars!
